Automated highly multiplex detection system for respiratory pathogens in canines

The assay developed has demonstrated high analytical sensitivity and specificity. The results obtained from the automated system are comparable to those from conventional laboratory procedures. The assay has shown possibility in rapidly detecting multiple pathogens in canines, and its utility can potentially be extended beyond companion animals to other mammalian species as well. Its application can enhance infection surveillance in animal populations and potentially mitigate zoonotic transmission risks.
